Around the age of four, a child develops an element which appears as a mark on their body. At four, they bond with a Pokemon and that bond develops their quirk, superpowers that almost 80% of the human population have through this special relationship with Pokemon, typically bonding with a Pokemon of the same element. To not make a bond and develop a quirk, to not develop an element in the first place, well, it's unheard of!
But not impossible. After all, that 20% has to hide in the shadows of the light somewhere.
Midoriya Izuku had the perfect life for a toddler. He had a loving mother and a loving father who, sure, fought every once in a while but what family doesn't? It was perfect up until he turned four and Izuku did not develop an element and suddenly his fairy tale story took a turn for the worst.
But hey, no family is perfect. Yelling and screaming is normal. Kicking and punching and beatings are normal. Crying and begging and breaking bottles are normal. Sure, he might not understand a lot of things but that's okay.
Everything would be okay. Why? Because Mommy says so and Mommy never lies.

Abandoned ||BNHA X Child Reader||
Your entire life has been spent in a experiment facility. Your quirk is strange and powerful, and no one can quite pin point what it is, which is why you are relentlessly experimented on. That was the life you knew, and your entire world was inside that facility. You've never seen trees, you've never seen a fork, you've never seen anyone wear something other than a lab coat. You were anything but a normal child. Far from it in fact. One day, you're saved. But it takes you a long time, a lot of help from the loving class of 1-A and a tired man with black hair to be a normal child again. ||Highest Rankings|| 3 in #mha [7/4/19] 2 in #Hero [8/4/19] 1 in #aizawa [7/4/19] 6 in #bnha [7/4/19] 8 in #xreaderComplete
